hormone

Hormones are like little messengers in our bodies that help different parts talk to each other and work together. Just like how you might send a note to a friend to tell them something, our bodies use hormones to send important messages to different organs and cells. These messages help control things like how fast we grow, how we feel, and even when we get hungry!

Imagine your body is like a big team, and each part has a special job to do. Hormones are like the coaches of the team, making sure everyone knows what to do and when to do it. For example, when you're growing taller, hormones help your bones and muscles know it's time to grow. When you're excited or scared, hormones can make your heart beat faster and your body feel ready to take action.

This hormone stimulates growth and development.
